Any suggestions for some chill songs to play for a group of friends just hanging out?

Thanks!
 
1:I shot the sheriff
(go onto youtube and learn it from seeso's video)
2:Somewhere over the rainbow

All my friends like to hear those
 
By the Rivers of Babylon
Redemption Song
Free Fallin'
Waterfalls
Wish You Were Here
Under the Bridge
Waiting in Vain
Ain't No Sunshine
Imagine
Wild Horses
Hey Jude
You Can't Always Get What You Want
With a Little Help From My Friends
 
I find myself strumming Somewhere Over the Rainbow (everyone recognizes Iz's version) and more often these days, Waiting In Vain and No Woman No Cry (probably b/c it's summer now and summer nights feel better with a little Bob Marley)
 
When we're hangin at HSG on Fridays, some of the songs (mostly Hawaiian) we jam on . . .
  • Henehene Kou 'Aka
  • Noho Paipai
  • Constellations
  • E Ku'u Morning Dew
  • Don't Have To think Twice
  • Wahine Ilikea
  • Life In These Islands
  • Margarita
  • Koke'e

There's also some hula songs and of course Over the Rainbow when someone asks . . .
 
Enter Sandman (Everyone knows the song and it is easy to play)
Back in Black
Pineapple Mango
Maleguania (sp?)

Those 4 are great as they are all familiar to people, easy to play and cover a decently broad range of music. :nana:
 
My signature instrumentals to make people go "ooo" are Somewhere Over The Rainbow, Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" and "Every Breath You Take". All instrumental, but sometimes 'll do the picking for the intro and then sing to the chords.

Jumping flea, do you have Enter Sandman uke tabs? I'll have to do some searching.

Yep! Here they ARE.
 
My favorites are fidelity by Regina spektor...Umbrella by rihanna...and the humpty dance (which i do my own way)

Follow Me - Uncle Kracker

You don't know how you met me, you don't know why
You can't turn around and say goodbye
All you know is when I'm with you | F
I make you free | Bb
And swim through your veins like a fish in the sea | F Bb C F

Chorus: (N.C.)
I'm singin Follow me, everything is alright | F Bb C
I'll be the one to tuck you in at night, and if you | F Bb C
Want to leave, I can guarantee | F Bb C
You won't find nobody, else like me | F Bb C F

I'm not worried bout the ring you wear | F Bb
Cause as long as noone knows then nobody can care | F Bb C F
You're feelin' guilty, and I'm well aware | F Bb
But you don't look ashamed, and baby, I'm not scared | F Bb C F

Bridge:
Won't give you money, I can't give you the sky | Gm C
You're better off if you don't ask why | F
I'm not the reason that you, go astray | Gm G
We'll be alright if you don't ask me to stay | C

Chorus: ...

You don't know how you met me, you don't know why | F Bb
You can't turn around and say goodbye | F Bb C F
All you know is when I'm with you | F
I make you free | Bb
And swim through your veins like a fish in the sea | F Bb C F

Chorus: ...

ENJOY!
